PM Modi To Address UN General Assembly First Time In Person Since Covid

Last year, world leaders had submitted pre-recorded video statements for the UN General Assembly session due to the pandemic.

PM Modi arrived in New York today, flying in from Washington DC.

The last time he addressed the Assembly in person was in 2019. In 2020, the high-level session had gone virtual. This time, though, global leaders have been given the option of delivering pre-recorded speeches.
